Chapter 82: The Special-Grade Teacher Reborn in Namimori Town! ...

"What a surprise."

Reborn received the food that Fushimi Kyoji had brought for Len, and even found his favorite brand of coffee beans underneath. He raised his lip slightly, "No reward without merit."

"Can you convince Sawada-san to let me join the Vongola?" Fushimi Kyoji immediately made the request.

reborn: Zzzz...

So fast.

Fell asleep in an instant!

"Swish, swish, swish~" The two big, round black eyes were still open, but there were snot bubbles on the nose, indicating that he was asleep.

With a "pop", the bubble that had grown larger with each breath burst.

Correspondingly, Reborn woke up immediately.

It pretended to rub its eyes: "Did you say anything just now?"

Whenever Fushimi Kyoji opens her mouth again, Reborn will definitely show her his skill of falling asleep instantly.

It was obvious that Reborn didn't want to talk about this topic. Fushimi Kyoji blinked in confusion, expressing her confusion about it.

"Why? Sawada-san has always been against me joining the Vongola."

Reborn looked at her: "From the beginning, Tsuna was rejecting you, so now you find it hard to understand?"

"Well... because Mr. Dino didn't agree to my request to join the Gabrone family either."

After a series of setbacks, the player began to wonder, could there be hidden prerequisites that she hadn't discovered?

"Oh? That's what he said." Reborn didn't even raise her eyes, listening to the player repeating her conversation with Dino, making "hmm~hmm~" sounds of agreement while listening, signaling Fushimi Kyoki to continue.

“…I was rejected very gently.” Thinking back on Dino’s reaction at that time, he didn’t get any useful results.

It doesn't seem like I'm being disliked.

Reborn remained silent until the player finished speaking, then looked at him eagerly before asking calmly, "Want to know the reason?"

nod.

Reborn doesn't pique the player's curiosity too much, nor does he directly answer the reason for being rejected by both Sawada Tsunayoshi and Dino. Instead, he asks, "As long as there's a family willing to accept you, regardless of which family it is or whether you know their details well or not, will you agree to join?"

Hey,

Reborn was not obsessed with hearing the answer from the player.

"The reason is simple. ...There's no crisis forcing you forward, and there's no reason to become a member of the mafia. You don't have a goal worth risking your life to protect."

He used his hands to adjust his unique sideburns and calmly and straightforwardly pointed out the key points of the whole matter.

"You're just 'thinking' about joining the Mafia. Whether you're hoping to achieve a similar level of comfort as your previous job, or simply out of curiosity, such a self-recommendation is unacceptable in the eyes of the leader."

Player: ...Oo?

What does it mean.

"...This isn't bad news." Reborn suddenly chuckled, his tone unclear. His dark, mirror-like eyes didn't blink, "On the contrary, it means you're very happy."

"As a qualified leader, my goal is to protect this happiness." So it was perfectly normal for Sawada Tsunayoshi not to agree to the player's request.

Reborn held the brim of his hat, his tone showing his good mood that anyone could hear, and added: "...At least the Vongola inherited by Tsuna is moving forward with such a goal."

"It seems that the philosophy of the organization you were in before was different from that of Vongola." Reborn inferred based on her reaction.

Player: Our organization's ultimate goal is immortality, so we occasionally send people to carry out human elimination plans...

"A leader is someone who places each of his subordinates in the most appropriate position, making them trust him, feel at ease, and unconditionally carry out his orders, and leading them in their execution."

Fushimi Kyoki filled in an uncertain "?" between the above words and the equal sign of Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"As a subordinate, if you find a leader worth following, all you have to do is obey the leader's will wholeheartedly and be his sword to kill."

"That sounds terrible." Fushimi Kyoji commented based on her inner judgment.

"That's true." Reborn did not deny it.

"That's only the way subordinates who find it difficult to make choices, don't want to use their brains, and blindly follow their leader will act."

The stern little baby, with a maturity beyond his years, acted as the elder's guide, explaining succinctly, "There are only two ways for a leader and his family members to interact. Either you act like a sharp blade, stabbing the enemy without questioning the leader's decisions, or... you act as a companion, fighting alongside the leader."

Finally, it paused inexplicably.

"You haven't yet realized what you want to protect, so a leader who fits the latter category will reject you."

Death Flame also mentioned the concept of 'enlightenment', and the game should not set abstract rigid requirements.

Garkaphis has emphasized that the player's will is the top priority, and the game progress will proceed spontaneously without deliberate effort.

In fact, there is no need to rush to complete the task of joining the family.

"We've finished talking about the existence between the leader and the members. Now it's your turn." Reborn suddenly focused his attention on the player.

It felt like a formal conversation. He rummaged through the small pocket of his suit and spread out his outstretched hand: "Want some candy?"

Eh?

It's a grape-flavored hard candy.

This packaging... seems to have been seen somewhere.

Fushimi Kyoji put the candy away and did not choose to eat it immediately.

Reborn watched her movements without saying anything until the player looked over at him. He then spoke again, "You should have noticed that you're being watched."

"You mean... Gokudera-san?"

Reborn snorted, his mood unclear. "Surprisingly, you're not the slow type."

"I can vaguely feel it." Fushimi Kyo scratched his face with his fingers, not sure why Reborn mentioned Gokudera Hayato at this time.

"Since you know that Wusi is on guard against you, why are you still trying to be nice to him?" It asked, holding up the bag of coffee beans. "Even now, why are you giving me a gift?"

"I want to...have better relationships with everyone?" the player answered tentatively, his voice unconsciously rising at the end, revealing his uncertainty.

"The killer won't be appeased so easily."

After expressing his coolness, Reborn continued his question, this time more directly, his eyes reflecting the entire figure calm, "Have you acquiesced to others' suspicions about you?"

It's not as serious as Reborn said...

In a love game, you need to improve the favorability of the characters you can pursue, ignoring their initial coldness and possible ill will, in order to successfully resolve the hostility in the end.

As a player, I have become accustomed to this and have adapted to it.

"You seem to care a lot about what others think." Reborn pointed out the player's thoughts sharply and firmly.

Well...it's a love game after all.

When in front of a potential target, one always subconsciously wants to show a better side.

"Why?" it asked again with a hint of surprise.

Judging from the impression of precocity that Reborn left on the players, it is certainly impossible that the other party could not understand the literal meaning.

It simply wondered about this behavior: "Does being misunderstood make you feel unbearable?"

"I'm just a little concerned... I don't want to be misunderstood. I have thoughts like, 'Ah, if only he knew what kind of person I am.'"

"Is it important?"

Reborn opened his eyes wide, his eyes clearly seeing the difference between black and white. "What other people think of you, that kind of thing is obviously fine."

"I don't quite understand...Mr. Reborn."

Reborn raised his chin towards the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

Fushimi Kyoji followed his instructions and sat down next to the baby. As soon as he sat down, he realized that the other person's position had a very wide view.

You can directly see the lake in the distance that is connected to the sky. The water surface reflects the warm red afterglow of the sky, rippling warm waves.

"I have no intention of interfering in the matter between you and Gokudera. This should be mediated between you two, or by Tsuna."

Reborn dangles its legs in the air, and players imitate its movements.

"What I want to tell you is that it's perfectly normal for other people's wills to differ from yours."

It spoke maturely in a childish voice, pointing to the distant sky with a finger that belonged to a baby: "Just like every cloud in the sky has a different shape."

"They won't change their will just because of your concessions, and you don't need to give in."

She should have felt the creepy dark pupils staring at her intently, but what she felt was a gentleness and tolerance beyond the other person's age, and an infinite inner peace.

It seems as if being supported by an elder, conveying a calm and reassuring power.

"Does it mean that just because other people suspect you of having ulterior motives, you really become that kind of person?"

"..." The player looked at the clouds and the golden lake, but actually didn't really listen to what Reborn said next.

I just feel that this moment is incredibly beautiful, and my mood seems to be floating softly.

At this time, Rambo was jumping and skipping past the two of them.

It took two steps back and walked back deliberately.

He curiously moved closer to observe the players and Reborn sitting together, and the calf's tail behind him kept swinging from side to side with ill intentions.

Suddenly, Rambo chuckled and said, "If I defeat you, Lord Rambo will be the number one killer!"

"Die, Reborn!"

He rummaged through his fluffy afro with both hands, pulled out a bomb, and threw it at Reborn without saying a word.

"...Hmph." Reborn ignored Rambo's attack, snorted contemptuously, and stood up from the flower bed.

In Reborn's hand, Len turned into a baseball bat, and he swung it at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to see. With a dull thud, the bomb was knocked back along the same path.

"boom……"

The bomb exploded directly. Rambo, whose face was covered in black and gray, exhaled a puff of black smoke. Tears welled up in his eyes. He pursed his lips and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"Uuuuuuuu! You bastard Reborn, Lord Rambo will defeat you sooner or later..."

Despite such a vile act, Reborn turned around to look at the player with his large, dark eyes wide open, demanding confirmation: "Just because it yelled and cried, saying I was a bad person, does that mean I'm a bad person? I was just trying to prevent myself from getting hurt, and fighting back reasonably."

Player: But it really looks like...

"Mr. Reborn..."

Fushimi Kyoji thought for a moment and said sincerely, "You are a very reliable baby."

"Maybe we should ask Tsuna to arrest your Chinese teacher and interrogate him." Reborn said in a tone that didn't sound serious.

"Want to know why I told you this?"

Reborn pouted cutely amidst Rambo's crying: "Maybe he doesn't want to see Tsuna's sad face every day and affect my mood."

You are so kind to your disciples...

Fushimi Kyoji couldn't help but sigh like this.

"If you listen to what I say, it's not impossible for me to accept you as my disciple." With its unchanging and unpredictable smile, it is difficult to tell whether it is joking or not.

"I can see that you are very surprised."

Fushimi Kyoki: "Well, I thought accepting a disciple would be treated seriously and carefully."

In the players' impression, Reborn is equivalent to a special teacher who specializes in training mafia leaders.

"No, even Yamamoto, who I only taught for a few days, is still considered my disciple."

The player waited quietly for a while, but no sudden tasks like "Become a disciple of reborn" popped up.

Fushimi Kyoki rested his chin on his hand and spoke his mind: "As expected... I still want to join the family more than being a disciple."

With a whoosh, a coffee bean popped out from Reborn's hand and hit the player on the forehead.

He subconsciously closed his eyes and took the light blow without any force.

When he opened his eyes again, the baby had already said what he wanted to say, turned around and prepared to leave - and took the bag of coffee beans.

Received...

Fushimi Kyoki blinked slowly.

"Mr. Reborn...are you impressed by me?" the player asked blankly, covering his forehead with one hand.

"We're still a long way off." The little figure who had already walked some distance could still hear her voice clearly.

In a rather cute voice, she said something that almost poured cold water on him, then raised her hand holding the coffee beans and waved it casually: "This is the consulting fee for this chat."

"I accept it."
